What’s new in Redox?

Thanks to @jackpot51 with the help of others, SDL, dosbox, zlib, libpng, libiconv and freeciv have been ported. Following are either almost ported or partially ported: gcc, newlib and binutils.

Thanks to @ticki Redox boots 10-20% faster, due to rewriting some parts of the kernel. This speedup mainly comes from rewriting the path parser and the URL parser.
